Annual Fund

SUPPORTING COLLECTIONS, TECHNOLOGY, PROGRAMS and morE

Give to Our Annual Fund

Madison Public Library Foundation’s annual fund provides critical support to core library needs. Some of these include: 

  • collections
  • technology
  • programs
  • professional development opportunities for staff
  • equity & innovation initiatives
  • library leadership requests
  • mini-grants for smaller projects that present themselves throughout the year

View our current appeal here.

The foundation’s Grants Committee meets throughout the year to review requests from library leadership, and issues nearly $100,000 each year for these purposes. View our grants flyer to see what our annual fund grants supported in 2019 and early 2020.
